When the Texas Tech football program picked up a commitment from Wichita Falls, TX tight end Jed Castles on Tuesday, we discussed the need for Matt Wells to continue to add more 2021 talent at that position. It took him two days to do just that.
Thursday evening, 3-star tight end Mason Tharp became the second 2021 TE to give his verbal commitment to the Red Raiders this week. He announced his intention on Twitter while thanking everyone who believed in him.
Interestingly, both tight ends to jump on the Red Raider bandwagon this week have the potential to be massive players in terms of their physical stature.
